CHRNS CANDOR - White-Beam Reflectometer

• Q resolution, dQ/Q, ~0.025
• Fractional wavelength resolution ~0.015
• Angular resolution ranging from 1 to 10 minutes (of arc)
• Significantly higher usable intensity incident on sample (expect more than an order of magnitude or more increase)
• Background should not increase for a broader intensity beam wavelength band (assuming elastic scattering only) but may increase with an incident beam of greater angular divergence

. . . Should enable (conservative prediction)

• Significantly shorter measurement times for a given sample size (or smaller sample volumes for a given data collection time)
• Opportunities for measurements of structural evolution in real time

. . . Might enable (pushing the envelope)

• The possibility of performing phase-sensitive specular NR measurements, which is the equivalent of one-dimensional real space imaging, in real time
